Overview of Cable Protection Systems
Higher Levels of Protection
When it comes to copper wires and fiber optics connected to avionics, commercial aircraft OEMs and system suppliers seek higher levels of protection. At the same time, they also aim to package these wires and cables in thinner, lighter materials to reduce overall aircraft weight.
However, this balance between protection and lightweight design can be challenging to achieve. That’s why GORE Cable Protection Systems stand out. Built with materials that are extremely resistant to crushing and abrasion, they provide some of the highest levels of durability available today. Furthermore, we specifically designed them to package GORE® High-Speed Data Cables or other industry alternatives.
Not only can our systems withstand extreme flight conditions, but they also handle corrosive chemicals and fluids typically used in the aviation industry. Consequently, they offer exceptional reliability during operations.
Quick & Easy Installation
Installing cables in an aircraft can be a daunting task, but our systems make it much simpler. For example, copper and fiber can float freely within our cable protection systems without getting damaged during complex routing in cable runs. Moreover, sharp edges in airframes are no longer a threat.
In addition to being robust, these systems are also thinner, lighter, and more flexible than traditional options. As a result, installers can quickly and easily route cables without exceeding the minimum bend radius. In fact, our jacket systems contribute to significant weight savings, which, in turn, allows more space to install other critical airborne systems.
In summary, our cable protection systems not only safeguard vital components but also simplify the installation process. Therefore, they are an ideal choice for improving aircraft performance while meeting stringent industry requirements.
